As the winter months approach, loading
areas around the country will begin to fall into the seasonal rituals that
accompany the colder weather. Putting protective measures in place for your
site loading bays is something that every organization should think about.
Dock levellers are essential loading bay
equipment that often go forgotten. Dock levellers must be protected from the
elements to not fail due to the cold.
What are Dock Levellers?
Dock levellers are a form of loading
equipment commonly used in warehouses and industrial settings. Dock levellers
bridge the gap between a docked vehicle and a loading bay, allowing for safe
and efficient loading and unloading.
Dock levellers make the loading and
unloading process exceptionally safe and simplifies the operation of loading
and unloading cargo. Our industry experts are able to advise of preventative
procedures to keep you dock levellers in working order.
How Do You Keep Your Dock Levellers Safe
During the Winter?
Dock leveller owners must implement safety
measures. If you schedule an loading bay winter health check with Dock Technik
for the end of autumn, our experts will work to identify any potential issues
that could occur and effect your loading process.
Cold Weather Affecting Dock Levellers?
Cold weather can have a harmful impact on
dock levellers. Moisture in the oil reservoir freezing over can be a problem
for a dock leveller. Such a condition damages dock leveller operation since it
prevents the hydraulics from working properly.
Another concern with dock levellers in cold
weather is frozen patches forming on the leveller's surface, resulting in slick
regions. This will endanger your goods and create a safety concern for workers
in and around the loading area. One action to mitigate this risk is is to keep
the area around the loading bay entrance warm and industrial doors closed when
not in use. This will prevent icy patches from forming on your dock levellers
and other critical loading equipment.
The Advantages of Dock Leveller Protection
The most significant advantage of
protecting your dock levellers over the winter is that they will continue to
work normally. It's worth taking precautions and putting in place safeguards
ahead of time.
Protecting your dock levellers from the
elements will lessen the likelihood of unnecessary costly repair.
